about

My son Kim was bullied at school when he was very young .. but somehow with very little help from his father, he managed to turn the experience to advantage .. handling bullies is a skill you will always need .. especially in business .. and the arts.

lyrics

BOY

Boy .. when you were just so high .. remember how you laughed when I sang
My dog has fleas
Boy .. gentle breezes filled your sails .. remember Russian Fairytales
How you begged for more .. will-you please
Little “friend of all the world” .. so the story goes
Pictures come together under your turned up nose
Ah Boy

Boy .. maybe school was not your style .. remember how it used to wipe that
Smile off your face .. I think you do
Boy .. all those walks along the beach .. remember how I tried to teach you
Something of life .. well who's fooling who
Suddenly you're standing there saying “Can't you see?”
That's when I first realise .. your looking down at me
Ah Boy

CHORUS
So you grew up .. laughing at life and I .. I know it wasn't easy
All the nights you cried
But from the day you found my dog has fleas so very funny
Till my time has come you'll always be my funny sonny boy

Boy .. where're you going .. not so fast .. gonna need a gift to last you
More than a day .. hey don't turn away
Boy .. gotta mind your P's and Q's .. everybody pays their dues
Somewhere somehow .. what more can I say
That's the sum of my advice .. if you want to heed it
Oh and by the way good luck .. you won't need it
Boy … Sonny Boy
